\nSometimes\u2014but not guaranteed. Conversion depends on Salute availability for your exact dates, resort, and room type. If it\u2019s not available, you\u2019ll need a new reservation (possibly at a different resort\/room type).<\/p>\nWhy are phone waits so long on announcement day?<\/strong>
\nThousands of military families call at once. Expect 60\u2013120 minutes (or more), transfers, and occasional dropped calls.<\/p>\nWhat if the Cast Member says the Salute isn\u2019t out yet?<\/strong>
\nKindly ask them to check for the new booking code<\/em> or request a supervisor. Not everyone is updated immediately.<\/p>\nWhen will 2026 tickets be available to purchase?<\/strong>
\nDisney may not specify a sale date. Historically, WDW tickets appear first at Disney locations and Shades of Green, then roll out to base ticket offices. If your base delays, buy long-distance from a base that sells remotely.<\/p>\nWhat should I do right now to prepare?<\/strong>
